And since it's loaded with two high-voltage 12AX7 tubes, this stompbox delivers the harmonic richness and touch response you'd expect from a full-sized Friedman amplifier. The IR-X's two channels cover everything from warm cleans to high-gain overdrive, and each channel includes a boost to push your drive to the next level. Per-channel 3-band EQs and voicing switches are onboard. You can plug the IR-X into a power amp and cab for a genuine air-pushing experience or use the onboard power amp simulation and low-latency IR loader to go direct. The IR-X includes an ultra-transparent effects loop, three multifunction footswitches, MIDI programmability, USB MIDI for DAW integration, and a headphone output. Friedman aficionados searching for the ultimate grab-and-go guitar rig will positively flip for the IR-X. It delivers killer Friedman tone — no amp required.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo channels of tube-infused tone\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IR-X includes two fully independent, footswitchable channels. Channel one ranges from squeaky-clean British-voiced chime to Plexi-style crunch. Channel two yields Friedman's trademark high-gain tone, chock-full of percussive punch, note articulation, and searing sustain. Best of all, the IR-X isn't an emulation or a starved-plate \"tube\" amplifier — it's a genuine high-voltage, 12AX7-loaded tube preamp. Experience the harmonic-rich tone, expressive touch response, and complex gain characteristics you'd get from a full-sized Friedman tube amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAll the sound-shaping controls you need\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo matter how you want to sculpt your tone, the Friedman IR-X is willing to oblige you. Each of its two channels includes a 3-band EQ, Volume and Gain controls, and a footswitchable boost. The clean channel boasts a 3-way Bright voicing switch and the dirty channel features a 2-way Tight voicing switch. Got pedals? Who doesn't! That's why the IR-X includes a bypassable effects loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePower amp simulation and IR loader\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile you can plug the IR-X into a power amp and guitar cabinet, this stompbox-style preamp also includes a power amp simulation with tweakable Presence and Thump parameters and a full-featured IR loader for sending your signal straight to the board. You can use the 12 Friedman cabinet IRs that come free with the IR-X, or you can use your own custom IRs. Selecting an IR is as easy as flipping the top-panel 3-way toggle switch or loading a custom file via the IR-X's editing software.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"webtext-block--colcount\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA feature-laden guitar preamp that fits on your pedalboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 high-voltage 12AX7 tubes deliver the harmonic richness and touch response of a full-sized Friedman amp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel 1 ranges from squeaky-clean British-voiced chime to Plexi-style crunch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel 2 yields a high-gain tone that's chock-full of percussive punch, note articulation, and searing sustain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePer-channel 3-band EQ, Volume and Gain controls, and footswitchable boost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright and Tight voicing switches provide added sonic flexibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBypassable effects loop makes integrating your pedalboard simple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower amp simulation with Presence and Thump parameters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIR loader includes 12 free Friedman cabinet IRs, or you can load your own custom files\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMIDI programmable with up to 128 presets for integration with pro-level rigs; USB MIDI for DAW integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 multifunction footswitches make real-time operation a breeze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTRS balanced output; headphone output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Friedman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40996978229306,"sku":"FN-IR-X","price":1180.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1764\/4443\/files\/friedman-ir-x-high-voltage-dual-12ax7-tube-preamp-di-ir-loader-cabinet-simulator-fn-ir-x-gsus4-1752553.jpg?v=1757135766","url":"https:\/\/gsus4.com.au\/en-nz\/products\/friedman-ir-x-dual-tube-high-voltage-preamp-pedal","provider":"Gsus4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
